    Wont know untill we know where we're playing next season. O'Shea and Rodgers are the only 2 on contracts for next season.

    The whole future of the club and league is up in the air at the moment. The budget for next season will be slashed hugely whether we stay up or not.

    From what I heard I have to agree with gufct the club is not in a great position, But now is not the time to go into this as we have 2 cup finals left. The club will be around next season but what ever our budget will be next season will be a huge % will be spent on clearing debts and ont on the team.

    At the end of season we hope to have a meeting with Nick to find out the position the club is in and the clubs plan for 2009

    But for now only Harps game matters and 3 points

    it is up in the air. as in we will more than likely go part time and could be playing in either the premier or first divisions. i doubt there is even a budget at this stage agreed (and secured) for next season. Therefore referring to the title thread how can we speculate on players futures when the future is up in the air. For example if we get relegated we be looking at a much different squad than if we stay up.

    Anyway.... all that matters today is the 3 points, all season we have had people on here talking about must win games, none more than tonight lads.... MASSIVE GAME

    If we get a lot of money for jay will that not clear most of the debts? One of the papers today said birmingham are willing to pay 385000 for him.

    The transfer fee will paper over the cracks and pay off some of our debts.

    after friday night, I can see a lot of players being around next season. Its great when a large percentage of the team are Galway based players. Its all down to the type of contracts that are offered to them, cash wise im talking of coarse. As in all jobs, money talks as all of them have to pay the bills just like the rest of us.

    Looking at your location i presume your talking about Derek Glynn in particular... i heard he was looking for a course to do next year as he knows Jeff won't keep him on!!.... shame really because he has some finish, can see him getting another club elsewhere, that is if he wanted to travel a distance!!
    There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D

    yeah i heard that about derek glynn but i also heard he is not the only one to start looking ahead for next year. having played with him here in claremorris i think he would be a great signing for someone like limerick 37 or athlone or even sligo. some time at that level (div1) would give him game time and help establise him at eircom league level. he a great guy and has total dedacation to his football, i hope he gets his chance to show people what he is capable of.

    Moving On!

    With all the talk of clubs in financial difficulty in Ireland, I believe that full-time soccer in not sustainable in Ireland...

    I feel O'Shea, Russell, Lester and McCullough are the four players most likely to be snapped up by other clubs.

    Cannot figure out what has happened to Derek Glynn and how he has slipped so far down the pecking order?

    You have to laugh really, when the player clear out was proposed back in June, Lester and Foley were 2 who were told 'thanks but no thanks'. We are now in the driving dseat to avoid relegation, thanks in no small part to the central midfield partnership they have struck up.

    The team improved a lot when Alan Keane and Ciaran Foley came back from injury and John Lester was able to move back to midfield, Deegan was a big loss and they were terrible when he left and Lester was stuck in C.B., since that got sorted that out they've improved an awful lot!
    I can't see GUFC losing that many players, the top teams all have plenty of cover or no money and the likes of Bray/Sligo/Shels/Dundalk don't seem to have the resources to pry players away from GUFC.
    Could be an interesting close season....
    innit though??
